This is a new artisan cheese made by Fiscalini Farms of Modesto, California. It is semi-hard with a natural rind and a sweet, salty, buttery taste. The uniqueness of San Joaquin Gold impressed us in both its flavor and texture. Made from unpasteurized milk from Fiscalini's own herd of 1,400 Holstein cows, it is a wonderful cheese for snacking, but can also be used as a topping for soups or salads. In addition, it grates well and melts easliy. Use it on hot or cold sandwiches or as a Caesar salad garnish.

Was ok to me. It is like it says, sweet and buttery. I was hoping for more taste to it. This review is from a stinky cheese fan, so if it sounds good to you try it.

Have Heard Only the Best!

Shipped 5 California cheeses to my cousins in Ohio for their hospitality when I visited in October. They have proclaimed them all DELICIOUS! They arrived on the date they were supposed to and in perfect condition! I will keep your site in my Favorites from now on!

Best cheese

We never get sick of this cheese. We eat it on crackers, on bread or just by itself. It's a great snack and can accompany just about any meal. It's also really good with buttery olives, like cerignolas.

Great Cheese with Wine

Comfort Food

Because this is made with unpasteurized milk only use low heat or else the cheese will lose its color. I melted it to put in a roux to place on top of sauteed squash and onions. The flavor is mild but oh so tasty. Lets hear it for those 1400 holstein cows. They produce a fantastic cheese. Great on crackers. You will not be disappointed.

an all-time favorite

This cheese never disappoints. It has a nutty, salty flavor and is wonderful sliced thin to eat with wine -- no crackers needed. Wonderful to eat on its own. A special treat.
